Bar Estilo

Bar Estilo brings a breezy Mediterranean mood to the Mailbox, opening its doors to an alfresco terrace that looks over the canal and invites guests to slow down. Inside, a flexible layout of high and low tables with banquette seating sets the scene for everything from intimate catch-ups to lively group gatherings, whether it is a leisurely lunch or a spirited dinner.

The kitchen leans into tapas and paella, a craft it has honed for more than two decades. Expect the comforting rhythms of Spain alongside flavours from around the Mediterranean and beyond: think stuffed piquillo peppers, crab cakes and seared tuna tostada alongside lamb kofta, chicken liver and bright, herb-lifted salads. Paellas arrive in two sizes, from the signature Estilo paella to a vegetable-laden rendition, while sun-seeking bites like a Spanish rice and black bean chili burrito or an Estilo cheese burger add a playful twist.

Behind the bar, there is equal verve: speciality sangrias and classic cocktails are shaken with flair, joined by a well-chosen list of wines from Spain and further afield, an ever-growing collection of gins, and ice-cold beer and cider on tap or by the bottle.

Settle in by the water, graze and linger over a glass or two. Book a table, bring your favourite people, and let the good times roll — Mediterranean style.
